About Jim

I get to know Miami when I studied Microbiology at University of Miami from 1989-1994. South Beach is the best because of the one and only Ocean Drive, where I spent much time on the white sandy beach and played volley ball in Lummus Park. Time past, I still have fond memory of the happy hour in 'News Café' and 'people show' on Ocean Drive. It is the definitely a best place you must visit when you visit Miami.

Jim purchased this condo in 2013

Why Jim chose Miami Beach

'The Carlyle residence remains an iconic Art Deco landmark. Known as one of the most sought after settings for photo shoots, televised programming, Hollywood, and independent film-making, The Carlyle has been featured in films: Bad Boys 2 (2003), Random Hearts (1999), Pronto (1997), The Birdcage (1996), and Scarface (1983).

The all white building is three stories high. Each floor is set off by attractive tiers. The center of the facade has three horizontal bars from the top of the first floor to the roof with circular tiering at the top. There are also several areas displaying intricate designs. I bought this unit because of Carlyle and its great value in the world most exciting beach resort.

What makes this condo unique

Great location across from Ocean

We (four adults and one baby) traveled to Miami for a family wedding. We had a very nice three-day stay at the Carlyle, Rental #491121. We loved the location across from the beach, the beds were very comfortable, the master bathroom quite spacious, and the kitchen seemed to be well-stocked although we did not cook, only ate a quick breakfast each morning. The staff was helpful when we called on them, and the owner, Paul, was quick to respond to our questions and return our deposit. We did not need a car as taxis and Ubers were easily accessible and reasonable.

Although the description states the condo is "brand new, " it no longer looks that way. It is well decorated but the walls are scuffed up with black marks and chipped paint, the Jacuzzi is not working, and the second bathroom is quite dark, it could use brighter light bulbs or additional lights. Providing a new sponge and some liquid dish soap would be a simple welcome to weary travelers. Although we brought our own packn'play for the baby, there is one available in the bedroom closet.

We had a couple of good lunches and drinks on the porch of FL Cafe on 1360 Collins Ave. The grilled Mahi-Mahi and the Caribbean salad were fresh and tasty.

We would recommend staying here, but hopefully after a bit of a facelift to freshen it up.

EXCEPTIONAL STAY!!!!

I recently stayed at The Carlyle - it was a group of 4. We had an excellent time! The location of the unit is perfect (close to everything). The unit was just as it is pictured on the website. There was enough room in the unit that we weren't on top of each other (like you would get if you stayed at a hotel). Paul was excellent to work with - I had no problems with payment transactions, and received my security deposit back within 4 days upon my return.

If you're looking for a nice place to stay - close to all of the action, with less the cost...trust and believe this is the way to go!!!

Great place, perfect location!

My husband and I stayed with 2 young children and having the beach and park right across the street was perfect! Amazing location... Definitly didn't need to rent a car, bus system was easy around South Beach and into downtown Miami. Right in the heart of all the action, yet unit was quiet enough at night for little sleepers. Staff at condo always pleasant and helpful, and owner / manager made booking easy. All our needs were within walking distance, even with 2 little kids. Pleasant, clean building and unit. Will book this condo again if we visit South Beach.

Location is everything!

This condo was everything it was promised to be. The location was better than expected. Beach was literally across the street. Restaurants, clubs, 7-11, liquor store, bars, shopping, etc were all walking distance. The bus runs 24/7 and a trip to downtown Miami (United Center) was a $2 one-way ride. Taxi from FLL was a whooping $80-100. Should look into a shared shuttle ride if possible. Our specific unit was clean and equipped with extra towels to accommodate our party. Paul was very accommodating and the reservation process was smooth. The front desk staff was a great help during our entire stay and recommended a number of places to eat. The Carlyle as a whole was clean, quiet, and amazing. A great overall experience!!

Owner's Response: Dear Brittany:
Thank you for taking time to write such nice review, we appreciate your business, and best regard!

All around fantastic unit!!

My husband and I, along with another couple, stayed in this unit for 5 nights. We couldn't have asked for much better. It was very clean, very quiet and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and the free Wifi was a bonus. The location was perfect; walking distance to everything you could want - Lincoln Road, beach, clubs, restaurants and shopping. However, there was no dish soap or dish cloths. This would be our only complaint. The monetary transaction and booking went extremely smooth, and our damage deposit was refunded before we even got back to Canada! Owner and agent were great to deal with. I would recommend this property hands down!!
